Black Honey, No Bees: The Brew That Breaks the Rules by Truth Coffee Roasting

Think you know coffee? Think again.

Truth Coffee Roasting—Cape Town’s self-proclaimed temple to caffeine-fuelled rebellion—is at it again.

This time, it’s with Black Honey, a coffee so smooth, rich, and full-bodied, it doesn’t just wake you up—it wins you over.

  • And no, before you ask, there’s zero actual honey involved. Just two exceptional beans (El Salvador and Ethiopia) coming together in perfect harmony to create something elegant, vibrant, and unapologetically complex.

☕ The Flavour Profile

Forget bitterness. Black Honey is all velvet and depth—like dark chocolate dipped in poetry. You’ll pick up floral notes, a silky finish, and a kind of quiet confidence that says, yes, I’ve had my coffee—and no, you may not speak yet. It’s designed for any style, any mood, anywhere—whether you’re a pour-over purist, a capsule convert, or a “just give it to me now” kind of coffee person.

🛍️ Choose Your Format:

  • Pour-Over Sachets – Travel-ready genius. Heat, steep, sip, repeat.

  • Coffee Capsules – Nespresso®-compatible and compostable (so your conscience sleeps well).

  • Whole Beans or Grounds – For those who like their ritual fully manual.

  • All starring the same hero: Black Honey.
